Modular data center MAP-2100

The one tool data center operators need to remotely test transmission quality of the network connecting its data centers, central offices, or head ends. Securing the integrity of data stored in data centers is so important that most data center operators back up data to other data centers via high-performance network links. To maintain the performance of those connections and to verify SLAs, a data center must frequently perform bit-error-rate (BER) tests on Ethernet line rates up to 100G and beyond, as well as OTN, CWDM, or DWDM circuits. The problem is that many data centers have very few, if any, technicians to run tests ensuring the quality of connections. The MAP 2100 was designed to enable data center operators and network service providers to securely run high-performance bit error rate tests to unmanned locations. Key Use Cases Office-to-office (data center interconnect) Scenario: Need to test the network between sites, but neither site has a technician to run tests via portable, hand-held testers Solution: MAP-2100 at both sites, run tests remotely via secure communications Encryption up to 256 bits Additional security by forward all management connectivity through SSH (port ­­) Manual-to-office Scenario: Two sites, but only one with a portable tester and a technician present – typically, this is a two-person Test Solution: Use a portable T-BERD/MTS-5800 on one site and test against a rack-mounted MAP-2100 in the other Only one technician is required to run the test saving expense, man hours Either test unit can be controlled by the other using Smart Access Anywhere
